What to do on a rainy day

04-17-2016, 05:36 PM

Well just got back from traveling all excited to run down the road on the cruiser and what happens? Weather is now predicted 80 percent chance of rain for the next week. Cant catch a break to ride so I ordered brake caliper kits for the XS. If I keep lugging ill get her done.

You may need to do a boat modification judging from the weather reports we've been seeing.

If I can make at least one person smile, or pee their pants a little, or maybe spit out their drink; then my day is not wasted.

Just put the rain gear on and saddle up! Rode home from work in the rain yesterday. If you don't ride in the rain, you just don't ride!

Ive ridden in the rain plenty of times. Dont need rain gear. Its only bad until you are soaked then it doesnt matter.
